The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 995

Nate answered casually, “Ah well, they might be arguing…”

The secretary shook the head, “Doesn’t seem like it. The woman’s voice is loud and clear. If she wasn’t right next to

the phone, we wouldn’t hear her so clearly…

“Maybe… their chit–chat escalated into a full–blown argument…”

The secretary gave him a sidelong glance, “Nate, you can’t fool me that easily…”

The call ended. Damon had both his hands on either side of Chloe, his handsome face staring at her, a

commanding presence.

“Who are you picking up at the airport?”

“Katie and Miles.”

Chloe said softly, starting to button up Damon’s shirt for him.

Without saying much, Damon picked up the phone again. Not long after, he announced, “Heading to the airport to

pick up Katie.” Chloe paused in the middle of buttoning his shirt, looking up at Damon. But Damon quickly ended

the call and before she could react, he had lifted her up into his arms.

She instinctively clung to his shoulders. “What… are you doing?”

Damon gave her a faint smile and leaned in to kiss her. “We’re alone here. What else could I be doing?”

Chloe’s face turned a deep shade of red. Feeling’utterly embarrassed, she found herself being carried to the large

bed in the lounge.

Her hair splayed out behind her, like a beautiful, radiant rose blooming on the bed, her disheveled shirt revealing

her delicate skin. Her usually aloof and cool demeanor was now replaced with a soft, submissive allure.

Especially with her usually neat and tidy professional attire now all disarrayed, she was intoxicatingly attractive.

Knowing that she had been “starving” the man these past few days, Chloe knew she wouldn’t be able to escape

today. Under his irresistible charm, she didn’t even want to escape.

She reached up to wrap her arms around Damon’s neck, leaning close to whisper,

“Just… be gentle…”

A hungry wolf, when it finally got to eat, could be quite ferocious…

Damon felt his last bit of rationality crumbling. Seeing Damon’s expression, Chloe instantly regretted her words.

“No… I didn’t mean that…..”

“So… you want me to be rougher?”

Chloe’s eyes widened, “No…”

Before she had a chance to explain, Damon pulled her into a whirlwind of passion.

When Damon drove Chloe back to the Harper family home, her face was still flushed from their passionate

encounter.

Damon parked his car and couldn’t help but chuckle quietly as he turned his head to look at her.

“You okay?”

His deep voice, laced with laughter, was right next to her ear. Chloe’s face turned even redder, but she stubbornly

refused to answer Damon’s question.

Damon chuckled again, got out of the car and walked over to the passenger side to open the door for her.

Chloe had already unbuckled her seatbelt and fixed her hair. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of the car. Just

as she steadied herself, she felt her legs trembling. She swayed slightly, almost falling over.

Damon, who was by her side, quickly extended his hand to steady her.

“What happened?” Damon asked, a hint of surprise in his voice. His handsome face furrowed in concern as he

looked down at her, all serious.

Chloe leaned against him, one hand on his shoulder. Her face was as red as an apple as she looked up at him, her

eyes filled with shyness and a little displeasure.

Dámon thought for a moment before he realized what was going on. He gave a soft chuckle.

“I’m sorry, I might have been a bit too rough.”

“… And you’re laughing.”

Chloe was now truly worried. With so many people in this big house, and so many pairs of eyes, it would be so

embarrassing if they noticed anything.

Damon smiled, bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Chloe was startled, “Don’t…”

Damon pretended not to hear.

“Damon!”

“I know, I’ll just carry you to the door.”

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, reaching down to touch her trembling legs, “I told you to be gentle…”

Damon chuckled lightly, “Can’t help it, you’re too irresistible.“.

His way of shirking responsibility was truly something.

As soon as they reached the door; Chloe urged Damon to put her down. Instead, he strode forward, carrying her

straight through the door.

“Hey!” Chloe was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Damon to go back on his word.

Damon looked down at her and smiled, “You haven’t fully recovered from the car ride. I’m afraid you won’t be able

to stand on your own yet.”

“Then put me down now!”

“No.”

As soon as they entered the living room, the noise inside stopped.

Chloe gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Feeling several pairs of eyes on her, she had no idea how to face them.

Amid the silence in the living room, Chloe was thinking about what to do next, what to say, and how to act more

natural. However, all her thoughts were disrupted by the next sentence.

“Damon, you’re back? What happened to Ms. Chloe?” The familiar voice sounded somewhat cautious but incredibly

calm.

Chloe slowly opened her eyes.

It turned out that Wendy was here, which was why they had been called back for dinner. But why called them back

if she was

here?

At the moment, Damon carried her over, bent down, and put her on the couch. Chloe sat on the couch,

expressionless. Just now she was thinking about what kind of expression to maintain, but it seemed she was

overthinking.

Apart from being cold, she couldn’t muster any other expression.

“Grandmother.”

Damon stood up and called out in a low voice. Chloe also slightly turned her body and looked at everyone. She

noticed Alyssa. Harper was smiling at her, as was Hannah.

“Granny.” Chloe also called out.‘

“Chloe, are you not feeling well? Why did Damon carry you in?”

“I’m fine, I just… fell asleep in the car.”

Damon’s lips curved in a subtle smile, looking down at her. But Chloe didn’t look at him. Alyssa’s bright eyes

glanced between the two of them, then called Chloe over.

Chloe hesitated for a moment, then stood up. Her legs were weak and trembling slightly, but she managed to walk

over to Alyssa slowly.

Alyssa took herhand, smiling warmly and knowingly.

“How long have you been sleeping. How come your legs have turned to jelly?”

Elizabeth and Wendy, who were sitting together, both turned to look at her. Chloe’s face turned uncontrollably red.

Hannah chuckled lightly at the side, but clearly seemed a bit helpless. “Ms. Chloe is easily shy, so you might want to

be a bit more

subtle…”

Alyssa pretended to be angry and shot a glance at Hannah, “What’s the connection between sleeping and being

easily shy? I’m already very subtle. You saying that makes me seem not subtle at all.”

Hannah chuckled again lightly apparently realizing something. “That’s really… really embarrassing for Ms. Chloe.”

The conversation between the two made Chloe’s jelly–legs situation seem like a well–known secret.

Wendy, who was already a bit awkward on the side, seemed unable to maintain her forced smile at this moment.

Hannah took a brief look at her, then calmly withdrew her gaze.

Her face wore a faint smile.
